Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the Z-purlin is punched, cut to length, or otherwise worked
Further working moves the product to the 'other' tariff item for angles, shapes, and sections.
If imported as part of a prefabricated building kit
Prefabricated buildings are classified in Chapter 94, not Chapter 72.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the Z-purlin is not further worked (e.g
• no punching or slitting) to stay under this tariff item
• Keep records of the steel grade and dimensions for CBSA verification
• If the purlin is part of a building kit, check if it should be classified as a prefabricated building under Chapter 94
